14.2 Enhanced Self-Test
RD8200SG locators incorporate an Enhanced Self-Test
feature. In addition to the typical checks for display and
power functions, the RD8200SG applies test signals to its
locating circuitry during a Self-Test to check accuracy and
performance.
We recommend that a self-test is run at least weekly, or
before each use.
